Go to Hell, Australia

Go to Hell, you preening dandies, congratulating yourself on your superior civilisation, your higher levels of enlightenment, your more advanced phase of humanity, constantly patting your own head with such single-minded enthusiasm it never occurs to you to ask yourself what you're contributing to this world.

Go to Hell, you superior preachers, lecturing away at the lower orders for their failure to think the right thoughts, read the right books, watch the right movies or know the right quotes. Go to Hell you pontificating sacks of air who'd rather spend a week scrutinising a sentence with a magnifying glass for traces of incorrect word usage than spend a minute improving someone's life. Go to Hell you sour, withered bags of bones who know nothing of life but how to suck the joy from it, and who know nothing of humanity but how to take offence from it, and who feed on moral superiority and outrage, and who measure life's wonders only in exuberance crushed, difference homogenised, and spirit extinguished.

Go to Hell you snarling halfwits who can find no relief from the sorrows of life except that comes from identifying someone to blame, whose only reaction to being spat on from above is to look downward to see who they can spit on in turn. Go to Hell you grasping trolls with your windy shrieking greed and your drooling envy and your demands that not a raindrop should fall upon the earth without a slice of it being deposited upon your doorstep, and go to Hell you hollow kleptocrats who build your own power on the sale of warning beacons to be lit whenever someone is getting something that someone else doesn't have.

Go to Hell you hidebound bubbles of self-righteous nothing, with your wailing laments for better times, times when life was simpler and folks were friendlier and the air was sweeter and your days were unperturbed by the anxiety of someone who looked different to you walking the streets without fear.

Go to Hell you savage-brained zealots whose lives are so devoid of pleasure and empty of purpose that your atrophied minds can find occupation only in the pursuit and degradation of those with the audacity to seek happiness in ways that you will decry as unnatural, out of nothing but your own tradition-gnarled loathing for anything that disturbs the slimy stagnation you've grown accustomed to. Go to Hell you slobbering apes, with your perverted sense of satisfaction at the violence you wreak on those whose species you are not worthy to inhabit.

Go to Hell you primeval thugs, who deny agency and pride to members of the opposite sex, lest they be given the unnerving impression that they might be human beings. Go to Hell you snivelling apologists for atrocity, you sniggering dogs of oppression, you sleek, grinning, gloating, hearty, human livestock, who bleat and bellow of equality and fairness up until the point at which your fellow citizen asks if you might be persuaded to share. And go to Hell you vomitous frauds who would throw a veil of dewy-eyed concern over your efforts to keep those you claim to protect in a permanent state of fear and inferiority.

And you too, can go to Hell, you hand-wringing hypocrites, who hide your cowardice and selfishness behind that weeping wall of self-righteousness, who feel the prickles of guilt upon your flesh and will not rest until the source of that guilt is nudged neatly out of your line of sight. Go to Hell, you who wail and beat your breast and dab prettily at your eyes over the tragic plight of those less fortunate, and propose as a solution that those less fortunate be made to stay less fortunate, lest they bother us any further. Go to Hell you self-sainted reptilian liars, who demand that we prevent the poor and the desperate from risking their lives on our seas, and insist that instead they risk their lives in their own countries, where we won't have to worry about them, who cry Compassion as your only watchword when proclaiming your schemes to save people's lives by denying them a life worth living, when lecturing us all on the necessity of cruelty in the service of kindness, and kindness in the service of indifference. Go to Hell you leering goblins of misery, and dig yourselves deeper with every oily, disingenuous word, with every fork-tongued proposal to build better fences to obviate the need to concern ourselves with how we treat our neighbours.

And go to Hell, too, you damnable bigots who cling gleefully to that map of the world that floats before your eyes, a world populated by brown puppets with strings to be pulled, and kindly white puppeteers with plans that are all for the best.

But most of all, go to Hell you lordly chiefs, who seat yourselves on high, atop hills of broken bodies and treasure piles of worldly pain, who draw power and wealth from all those mentioned above. Go to Hell you warlords who owe your position to the dissemination of fear and the force-feeding of hatred, to the fuelling of anger and the widening of divisions. Go to Hell you vampiric stormcrows, spewing darkness and terror onto the quivering masses below, because you know that without darkness and terror someone may catch a glimpse of the vacuuous toads you really are. Go to Hell you avaricious bottom-feeding insects who amass more and more at the expense of those who have nothing, who build your castles from the disappointments of those with not a hundredth your fortune, and a hundred times your worth.

Go to Hell, all of you, for your breeding of inhumanity and profiting from cruelty, your celebration of ignorance and destruction of knowledge, your contempt for the world and vendetta against those you share it with, and your lying, hateful, blustering, selfish, imbecilic rampage through life.

And go to Hell, all of us, who won't lift a finger to change a thing, safe in the knowledge that as long as we can find somewhere that's worse, there's no reason to try to make here any better.

Ginsberg's America had "Howl", we have Pobjie's "Go to Hell, Australia", and this is the superior piece.

And fuck you, Anonymous. Australia today (like many in the western world) is a country where selfishness and vested interests hold sway, where human lives are pawns sacrificed for commercial and political gain. We are, indeed, going to hell.

Go to hell you who stand so high and mighty above all else. Who stand in judgement and proclaim stereotypical condemnations, believing it will change anything within our society. Those who dogmatically condemn dogmatist of another way of thinking as irrational and dim witted without understanding their thoughts and pains (rational or not). Those who use such actions to appear creative, intelligent and articulate, who try to sleep at night saying they are making the word a better place and yet have not understood the people they condemn.

I'm not saying I disagree with you but condemnations do very little to change anything.

Was is it the vampiric stormcrows are always singled out these days? Innocently spewing darkness, causing grief and general demonic mayhem and then someone goes and tells them to go home. Not wanted. Vampiric stormcrows have feelings too people. Jesus, hell aint close in a place like this I tell ya.

It was like the freshest breath of air, relieving the nauseating dizziness caused by the generic stale counterpart I've been getting familiar with... Or something suitably poetic. Your the one who works words best, so I'll leave it to you.

One of my most favorite phrases of late is "First world problems"... it covers an amazing amount of situations.

Was just stopping by to browse some good reading, found it, and am now taking away the deserved guilt of considering leaving the country as there's a long list of really fucking hard things to do to make it better.

That wasn't quite as uplifting as I'd assumed from the heading it would be.

Go to Hell you self-sainted reptilian liars, who demand that we prevent the poor and the desperate from risking their lives on our seas, and insist that instead they risk their lives in their own countries, where we won't have to worry about them, who cry Compassion as your only watchword when proclaiming your schemes to save people's lives by denying them a life worth living, when lecturing us all on the necessity of cruelty in the service of kindness, and kindness in the service of indifference.

God bless everyone in our darkest hour of need. I judge not those who contribute to the hell we now live in, because perhaps in a past life I was one of these people. I simply give thanks that my eyes have been opened by the divine creator so I can see reality in all its splendor and tragedy. Life is short, love transcends, hatred destroys, so love and blessings to all my fellow creators. May God open your eyes so that you too can see more clearly so as to not throw fuel on the fire of hell that is being created for all. Love thy neighbour, don't throw stones if you sin, and judge not or ye shall be judged.

I agree brother Ben, and I do believe that you see very clearly and understand the creation of the Goorialla. It is an abomination in it's truest form. They worship the wrong serpent, that dragon of old.But see, the rainbow sits in the sky and he knows the heart and spirit of all creation, ever watchful. be at peace my friend, the land shall be redeemed, and the nation returned to His people who are true and have never forgotton the reality of the dreamtime...

Since those comments were published I believe Australia is well on it's way to going to hell!Wish I could leave the country. I am so ashamed to be Australian. This government really thinks it's something. And the people, too. I'm Australian but I hate you all. And Robin Williams was right...We are nothing but English red-necks! Go ahead and troll me, you illiterate, overly-proud, dismally insignifiant nothings! And, stick this in your pipe... The only TRUE Australians are the ones who were here before our sickly, pal-faced, scum of the earth, got here. I weep for them and I don't give a stuff about you!!!!!
